Good day. [Operator Instructions] Please note this call is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to our moderator, Mark Mey. Go ahead, please.

Mark L. Mey

Thanks, Ty. Good Morning, and welcome to Atwood Oceanics Conference Call and Webcast to review the company's operating results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2012. The speakers today will be Rob Saltiel, President and CEO; and me, Mark Mey, Senior Vice President and CFO.

Before we begin, let me remind everyone that during the course of this conference call, we may make forward-looking statements, which are not historical facts and are based upon management's current plans, expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events impacting us. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including the risks which are described in the company's most recent Form 10-K, and the filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
